It’s Valentine’s Day and everyone celebrates it in their own way. Love is love, right?
Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana, arguably one of the wittiest senators in the country, posted a video of him cleaning his revolver as he says he believes “love is the answer, but you ought to own a gun just in case.”
The Alaska Democratic Party had their own spin on Valentine’s Day: They want to get former Rep Mary Peltola married off — again. Her husband Buzzy Peltola died in a plane crash in 2023, and evidently she is back on the singles scene.
According to Alaska Survey Research, Peltola might be a candidate for governor in 2026, so having a new husband could be a political asset. Or she might be signed with a lucrative lobbying firm in D.C., as has been rumored around the Capitol. Either way, she’s in play.
The Democrats’ Valentine’s Day messages on X/Twitter showed some of their favorite lawmakers (and the former representative) featured on gift tags. Next to Peltola, shown on the left above, was House Rep. Carolyn Hall, Democrat for House District 16, Turnagain, Spenard, and Sand Lake in Anchorage.
